Produced and mixed by sought after studio veteran JohnFeldmann, ‘Wasn’t Gonna Go Out’ marks the first release from WEATHERS since their May 2023 album, Are We Having Fun? The LP boasted the band’s highest charting single, to-date, ‘ALL CAPS’ featuring John The Ghost, which peaked at #6 on the Alternative Charts.
Of the latest single, singer/guitarist CameronBoyer asserts, “‘Wasn’t Gonna Go Out’ is about reclaiming what you’ve lost after a breakup. When someone goes through a breakup, they tend to lose a lot of normal things in their life, like the places they like to go to eat. They feel like they can’t go eat there anymore. You lose the bar that you met at, so ‘Wasn’t Gonna Go Out’ is saying, ‘No, I’m gonna retake all those things back and take back what’s mine.” And one of those things includes your heart, too. It’s supposed to be an empowering song about not letting someone else ruin the things that were yours, too.”
WEATHERS – ‘Wasn’t Gonna Go Out’
Boyer, along with bandmates CameronOlsen [guitar] and BrennenBates [bass] have spent a decade-long career staking a tangible claim to that space between epic rock and dark, brooding punk adeptly leveling the tongue-in-the cheek with the heart-on-the-sleeve. Perhaps blueprints were found with bands like the Killers, My Chemical Romance and even the Cure, but WEATHERS, along with live drummer, ChristianChampion, are clearly on the road to crafting their own inimitable approach.
WEATHERS initially emerged back in 2015. A year later, they served up the breakthrough single ‘Happy Pills’, amassing over 200 million Spotify streams and counting. They parlayed this momentum into the albums, Kids in the Night [2018] and Pillows & Therapy [2021]. The latter boasted fan favourites such as ‘Rehab’, ‘Losing Blood’, and ‘C’est la vie’, which reeled in over 40 million Spotify streams and counting. Meanwhile, Billboard proclaimed, “Their message empowers through the acceptance of something we all consider flaws at some point.” Of the album, Under The Radar noted, “The band married grungey alt rock and synth-laden pop rock, embracing newly anthemic sounds as well as revisiting their ‘90s influences,” while Beyond The Stage Magazine proclaimed, “Weathers’ Pills & Therapy is the best medicine.”
Says Boyer of what we’re to expect in the near future, “With this new stuff, we want to let go of a little bit of drama. We definitely wanted to have some fun, but we were just being very theatrical and pushing the envelope for us in terms of seeing what we could do differently that’s a little more eccentric and theatrical, and eye-catching, or ear-catching. So it’s not so dark and sad and moody.”
He laughs, “It always will be a little bit since it’s us, but it’s definitely more theatrical and fun.”
